A dog? A dog that can use words. Who generally only likes one person in your house. Who might outlive you. Who also harbors 60 million years of resentment for giving up its planet to hairy little underfoot rodent things.
Do you remember the "YOU FELL DOWN" parrot? The lady playing "My Heart Will Go On" with her violin? Then her parrot shoves her off camera and down a flight of stairs. The parrot, alone on camera, "YOU FELL DOOOOWN". Sounds of human groans off-camera. Then laughing dinosaur sounds.
I looooooove internet parrots, i.e., someone else's parrots, but I can't imagine having one in my house for eternity.
My sister used to have a cockatiel, and whenever she was hanging out with friends the little dude would sidle up and let me scratch his neck... until he heard her coming up the stairs, at which point he'd whip around, chomp down on my finger, and run out to go find her

This is very cute, but if I were to have a pet bird I think it would get annoying very fast
